'Sounds of the Ocean' art exhibition by Nicki Heenan

About Us

Nicki Heenan is an artist who has the ability to capture the fleeting moments of the Sea. She paints regularly on various windswept coastlines working with mineral pigments and watermedia or oil paint mixed with wax. The way paint is used intimates the rugged rocks and tempestuous Seas. For many years Nicki also worked as a musician and so brings a lyrical tone to her work with a strong rhythmical quality. Last year Nicki was selected for Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2016 and was awarded a scholarship to study at Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ireland. Her work has regularly been on show as part of the Federation of Artists Mall Galleries Open exhibitions with the Royal Institute of Watercolours, Royal Society of Oil painters, New English Art Club, Royal Society of British Artists and shortlisted for Lynn Painter Stainers and Royal Portrait Society. Her exhibition will include paintings of Birnbeck Pier; one of which she is kindly donating to the Birnbeck Pier Regeneration Trust as chosen by public vote. She will give a talk about her work, 'Chasing the Light' at 2pm during the drinks event on Saturday 5th August from 11am onwards. She is also leading a drawing/painting workshop on Friday 4th August on the Grand Pier from - please contact LT Gallery for more details and for bookings
